Sir-Prize

Late to the doc I ran the last block Was about to enter when right in the center of the office there she stood my old flame My brain went a-reelin' the room spun around I saw 'twarn't no use to put my head down and pretend it was over 'cos Lord knows it was not... Twenty years later for lovers just ain't a helluva lot

Surprise…surprise…surprise as Gomer used to say. A true twinge of the heart - who can put out the flame? I see Michael’s comment below: on my 25th h.s. reunion, I finally got to hug my crush…lol! NK!

Oh my, this shouldn't happen to anyone, gw. Nope, twenty years, uh, it takes longer than that to extinguish some of those old flames.

I don't think that they're ever extinguished, frankly. Kind of like smoking. Once you're hooked. You can't quite the habit 'til you're dead.

I'm sure you were Surprised or rather Sir-Prize. What did you say? You never know who you will run into Gershon. I hope you departed in good terms. My only question is, did you tell the wife??

Glad to hear you survived through it all, and all was well my friend...
